Barcelona (6 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss) welcomes Atalanta (4-2-1) to the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys Wednesday for the final UEFA Champions League matchday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Barcelona vs. Atalanta odds, and make our best soccer bets, picks and predictions.

Barcelona, which is third on the La Liga table, sits second through 7 UEFA matchdays. It has a stellar 6-0-3 home record in league play and is coming off a 7-1 home victory over Valencia Sunday. Barcelona has won 6 of its last 7 games across all competitions with the non-win being a draw. It has won 6 straight UEFA matches, outscoring opponents at home 12-1.

Atalanta has exceeded expectations as well. Sitting third in Serie A, the top Italian league, Atalanta is seventh on the 10 UEFA table. It is coming off a 2-1 win at Como Saturday and has won 2 straight games. However, it is just 2-3-2 in its last 7 across all competitions. Atalanta is a perfect 3-0-0 on the road in UEFA action.

Barcelona vs. Atalanta picks and predictions

Prediction

Barcelona 2, Atalanta 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET DRAW (+333).

Atalanta has played against two top-tier sides in UEFA action. It lost 3-2 to Real Madrid on the sixth matchday and drew Arsenal 0-0 on the first day. Atalanta had 1.2 more and 0.4 more expected goals, respectively, in those games. It has shown it can keep pace with some top clubs.

Barcelona’s defense has allowed 5 goals in its last 2 games, and it has allowed at least 1.3 expected goals in 3 in a row. It has allowed at least 2.7 expected goals in 2 straight Champions League matches.

Considering the trends, expect a close game and BET DRAW (+333).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (-130).

Barcelona’s offense has been red-hot and has consistently dominated in UEFA action. It has scored at least 3 goals in 6 straight Champions League bouts and has topped this total in 5 of 7 games this season.

Atalanta has scored at least 2 goals in 3 straight games and has tallied a total of 15 goals in its last 4 UEFA games. It has had at least 2.3 expected goals in 6 of 7 matches.

BET OVER 3.5 (-130).

Atalanta vs. Manchester United odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Atalanta vs. Manchester United odds and lines, with Champions League picks and predictions.

In midweek Group F Champions League action, Manchester United (2 wins, 1 loss, 0 draws) visits Atalanta (1-1-1). Kickoff at Gewiss Stadium is scheduled for 4 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Atalanta vs. Manchester United odds and lines, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Atalanta enters in third place in Group F play and fifth place in Italy’s Serie A with a 5-2-4 record.

Atalanta has been dominant defensively and given up just 14 goals across 11 league games. It has scored 5 and allowed 5 across three UCL matches.

United plays with a more attack-heavy mindset. Man U should be able to move the ball with pace as M Paul Pogba‘s domestic suspension doesn’t impact his availability for European play.

It’s sitting atop Group F despite a crippling loss to BSC Young Boys. United defeated Atalanta 3-2 in its last UCL match and picked up a 3-0 domestic win over Tottenham Saturday.

Prediction

Manchester United 3, Atalanta 1

Money line (ML)

BET on MANCHESTER UNITED (+127) as it was dominant in the two teams’ first met. Man U won 3-2 after being down 2-0 in the first third of the game as it doubled Atalanta in shots.

United should be able to prevail with Pogba in the middle and F Cristiano Ronaldo up top. While its lost its UCL opener to BSC Young Boys, it was down to ten men when both of the Young Boys’ goals were scored.

Man U is a sound side despite defensive struggles against top-tier sides, but Atalanta doesn’t have the same pace as a club like Liverpool. Atalanta is 0-1-1 in two matches against top-tier Italian clubs.

Given those struggles against elite competition and Man U looking confident following its victory over Tottenham, I’m taking the slight favorite, especially with the plus-money value.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the OVER 3.5 (+130) as both teams couldn’t find much traction defensively in their last outing. There were a total of 15 shots on target last time they faced off.

I expect a similar total as Man U gave up 5 goals to Liverpool just two weeks ago. Having given up 1.6 goals per game in UCL action, Man U has scored 2 or more goals in all three games. The teams combined for 5 in their recent meeting.

Given that both teams have capable forwards and have shown attacking prowess in their league play (Man U averaged 1.9 per game while Atalanta is at 1.8 per game), I think the Over 3.5, especially at plus-money value, is a good bet.
